Description

Method and device for processing DMA (direct memory Access) and computer readable storage medium

Technical Field

Background

With the rise of big data and artificial intelligence and the inability of a traditional Central Processing Unit (CPU) to meet the demand, various types of operation acceleration devices are used in a large number in a computer system to offload the processing executed by the CPU on a data plane and to concentrate the CPU resources on a control plane, thereby avoiding the CPU becoming a bottleneck of the system. In systems involving hardware acceleration, the source data and processed data are typically placed in the host memory, which facilitates host-side CPU access. The operation accelerating device reads source data from a host end Memory by telling a serial computer expansion bus standard (PCIe) Direct Memory Access (DMA) to be put into a hardware cache and perform operation, and the operation result is also temporarily stored in the hardware cache and then written into the host Memory through the PCIe DMA; and finally, the hardware informs the CPU in a mode of interrupting or writing a response frame into the host memory, and the CPU directly reads the operation result from the host memory. A typical PCIe DMA process needs to be divided into at least two stages, where in the first stage, the acceleration device obtains the descriptor linked list from the host through PCIe DMA and stores the descriptor linked list in the hardware cache; in the second stage, the descriptor chain table is parsed to obtain the data address, and then the data is obtained from the address through PCIe DMA.

With conventional DMA controllers, the problem arises that idling of the DMA channel during waiting for the first stage to return data results in wasted bandwidth.

In view of the above-mentioned technologies, a method for efficiently implementing DMA is sought, which is a problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

At the core of the application, a method and a device for processing DMA and a computer readable storage medium are provided.

In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the disclosure, the following detailed description will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for processing DMA according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1, the method for processing DMA includes:

s10: and receiving a task for processing the DMA, and acquiring the state information of the task.

S11: and judging whether the state information meets a first preset condition of the descriptor DMA queue according to the stage contained in the task, if so, entering the step S13, and if not, returning to the step S11.

S12: and judging whether the state information meets a second preset condition of the data DMA queue according to the stage contained in the task, if so, entering the step S14, and if not, returning to the step S12.

S13: the control descriptor DMA queue processes the first phase of the task.

S14: and controlling the second phase of the data DMA queue processing task.

S15: and updating the state information of the task.

It will be appreciated that DMA, as a termination of direct memory access without the CPU, frees the CPU from the simple but cumbersome process of data copying to perform more complex operations, and that the operation acceleration device is usually inserted into the computer in the form of a board and connected to the CPU via the PCIe bus, thus achieving higher data bandwidth and greater flexibility. However, a typical PCIe DMA process needs to be divided into two stages, and the operation of the second stage needs to use the information of the first stage, which results in that the two stages cannot be executed in parallel, so how to use the time when the second stage waits for the first stage is the key of the present application, for S10, the task for processing the DMA is received, and the status information of the task is obtained according to the task, it is worth to say that the status information may refer to task QoS information, data information, descriptor information, the level of task priority, and the details of the status information are not limited, fig. 2 is a structural diagram of a DMA controller provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, after the task is received, the task is placed in a task queue, a task parser obtains the status information of the task through the tasks of the task queue, and stores the status information in a task context information storage unit, the task context information storage units are used for storing tasks and state information contained in the tasks, the number of the task context storage units is multiple, each task corresponds to one task context storage unit, and the multiple task context storage units can process the tasks at the same time. While candidate queue 1, data DMA filter, work queue 1, and data DMA processor are collectively referred to herein as a data DMA queue, candidate queue 2, descriptor DMA filter, work queue 2, and descriptor DMA processor are collectively referred to herein as a descriptor DMA queue through which data DMA and descriptor DMA are processed.

In addition, the stages mentioned in the steps S11 and S12 refer to the processing progress of the task, a typical PCIe DMA process needs to be divided into two stages, where the stage is first to determine that the task is executed to the stage a, and if the stage a is executed, it is determined whether the state information satisfies the first preset condition of the descriptor DMA queue and it is determined whether the state information satisfies the second preset condition of the data DMA queue, and if the stage a, it is directly determined whether the state information satisfies the second preset condition of the data DMA queue, and at this time, the stage a is to perform another task processing. Further, as shown in steps S11 and S12, the process proceeds to step S13 when the status information satisfies the first preset condition, and returns to step S11 when the status information does not satisfy the second preset condition, and proceeds to step S14 when the status information does not satisfy the second preset condition, and returns to step S12 when the status information does not satisfy the second preset condition, it should be noted that the steps S11 and S12 are returned to wait for the completion of the process at another stage, and after the status information of the task is updated, the first preset condition or the second preset condition may be satisfied, so that the process is continued instead of discarding the task or leaving the stage idle, and the process is continued for the next task, and after the status information of the returned task is updated, the process may be continued after the condition is satisfied. It can be understood that the two phases of the PCIe DMA process provided in this embodiment may process two different tasks in two phases, specifically, the first phase of processing task a needs to use the information of the first phase, and therefore the second phase of task a cannot be processed at the same time, and the second phase is processed in the second phase of task B at this time.

In addition, for the step S13 and the step S14, the first stage of the control descriptor DMA queue processing task and the second stage of the control data DMA queue processing task are different stages of two tasks, and it is worth mentioning that the descriptor DMA queue and the data DMA queue may process two stages of one task. In addition, when the first stage or the second stage of the task is completed, the state information of the task is updated, the content of the state update is not limited, and the state information may be information required by the second stage after the first stage is completed, so that the second stage is normally performed. The completion level may also be updated after the first or second stage processing.

Therefore, in the method for processing the DMA provided in this embodiment, by acquiring the DMA task for processing the DMA and acquiring the status information of the task, whether the status information meets a first preset condition of a descriptor DMA queue and/or a second preset condition of a data DMA queue is determined according to a stage included in the task, where the descriptor DMA queue is used for processing the first stage of the task and the data DMA queue is used for processing the second stage of the task, and whether to perform the next processing on the task is determined. Therefore, the method effectively avoids the problem of bandwidth waste caused by the idle of the DMA channel in the process of waiting for the data returned from the first stage by simultaneously carrying out the two stages of processing the DMA, processing the next task if one of the two stages does not meet the condition and continuously executing the other stage.

On the basis of the above embodiment, how to acquire the state information of the task is defined, and three steps of acquiring the state information of the task are as follows:

and setting a task number, wherein the number corresponds to the task.

Numbers are written into the data DMA queue and the descriptor DMA queue, respectively.

And acquiring the state information of the task through the number.

It should be understood that by numbering the tasks and writing numbers into the data DMA queue and the descriptor DMA queue respectively, the status information of the tasks can be queried through the numbers, and it should be noted that the specific form of the numbers is not limited, and may be english letters, and may be numbers formed by arabic numerals or a combination thereof. As shown in fig. 2, the task and the status information of the task are stored in the task context information storage unit, in the specific implementation, sending the task or the task information to the queue may cause queue congestion, and the implementation is complex, the idle resource queue records the number of the currently idle task context information storage unit, when the DMA controller is reset, the queue is initialized to a full state, the numbers sequentially start from N1 to Nn, and the numbers correspond to the tasks, the status information of the task can be queried through the numbers, it can be understood that the numbers correspond to the identification number, and the information of the person can be queried through the identification number.

In a specific embodiment, numbers are written into a data DMA queue and a descriptor DMA queue respectively, and whether a current task meets a first preset condition and a second preset condition is determined according to state information inquired by the numbers. It should be noted that the status information of the query task by number provided by the present embodiment is only a preferred embodiment, and may be selected according to actual situations.

Therefore, in the method for processing DMA provided by this embodiment, the serial number of the task is set, the serial number of the task is sent to the data DMA queue and the descriptor DMA queue, the status information of the corresponding task is queried through the serial number, and the status information is stored in the task context information storage unit, and one storage unit corresponds to one DMA task, so that the maximum concurrent task number for processing DMA is determined. According to the method, the state information of the tasks is inquired through the serial numbers, the space in the queue can be saved, the state information of the tasks is stored through the context storage unit, the intermediate state of the tasks can be reserved, and the suspension and recovery of the tasks are supported.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the status information is limited, and it should be noted that this embodiment is only a preferred embodiment, and the specific content of the status information may be selected according to a specific situation, where the status information of a task includes Quality of Service (QoS) information, a status flag, data information, and descriptor information, and the QoS information includes priority information of the task and a bandwidth quota, and the bandwidth quota may be used to dynamically record a remaining quota of the current task, and the descriptor information further includes a current page address, a current page offset, a number of remaining entries, and a descriptor cache. The descriptor DMA queue can divide a task into multiple times of completion according to the size of the descriptor cache and various quota residual values, each time of task execution, DMA operation is executed according to parameters such as current page address, offset and the like, when DMA data are returned, the internal logic writes the data into the descriptor cache, and updates the current page address, the page offset and the residual number.

In addition, the data information is similar to the descriptor information, the data information also includes a current page address, a current page offset, a remaining total size, and a flow control quota, and the data DMA queue records an intermediate state of the current task through information such as the current page address, the page offset, and the remaining total size. The flow control quota is used for recording the size of the remaining space of the current data destination. In addition, the status flag comprises a data DMA and a descriptor DMA, and when the descriptor DMA and the data DMA are completed, the corresponding status flag can be updated, so that the progress of the task can be better fed back.

Therefore, the status information provided by this embodiment includes QoS information, status flags, data information, and descriptor system information, where four pieces of information correspond to sub information of each other, and the status information of a task may be updated by completing a task phase, and the storage unit may store all intermediate statuses executed by the task by setting the status information, so that the descriptor DMA and the data DMA may be executed multiple times, and the switching between tasks is supported.

On the basis of the above embodiment, the first preset condition and the second preset condition of the data DMA queue and the descriptor DMA queue are defined, and in addition, the preset condition is equivalent to filtering the task, placing the information which does not satisfy the condition on one side, and processing the information when the information is updated and the condition is satisfied.

The first preset condition is that the descriptor cache contains a next page address entry, the priority of the task is highest in the descriptor DMA queue, the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota are not 0, the second preset condition is similar to the first preset condition, the first preset condition is that the data DMA contains descriptor information, the priority of the task is highest in the data DMA queue, and the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota are not 0. When the first preset condition or the second preset condition is met, performing data DMA processing or descriptor DMA processing through the data DMA queue or the descriptor DMA queue, when the first preset condition or the second preset condition is not met, reprocessing the task as a new task, waiting for updating of the state information, and processing the next task before updating. It should be noted that the first preset condition and the second preset condition provided in this embodiment only appear as a preferred embodiment, and the first preset condition and the second preset condition may be defined according to specific situations.

Therefore, the method effectively avoids the situation that the task cannot be processed but the processing is started to cause the equipment to do idle work by dividing the task into two stages and judging whether the current task can execute the first stage and the second stage according to the first preset condition and the second preset condition, and effectively improves the efficiency of processing the DMA.

In a specific embodiment, the processing of the first stage of DMA tasks through the control descriptor DMA queue comprises:

judging whether the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota are 0;

if yes, taking the task in the first stage as a new task, and judging whether the state information meets a first preset condition of a descriptor DMA queue and/or a second preset condition of a data DMA queue according to the stage contained by the task;

if not, calculating DMA parameters, wherein the DMA parameters comprise DMA transmission size, current page residual and initial address;

sending a request for reading DMA to PCIe, and judging whether the residual total size is 0;

if the remaining total size is 0, setting the descriptor DMA to be in a completion state;

if the residual total size is not 0, returning to the step of judging whether the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota are 0;

the second stage of processing of DMA tasks the second stage of processing tasks by controlling the data DMA queue comprises:

judging whether the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota are 0;

if yes, taking the task in the second stage as a new task, and judging whether the state information meets a first preset condition of a descriptor DMA queue and/or a second preset condition of a data DMA queue according to the stage contained by the task;

if not, calculating DMA parameters, wherein the DMA parameters comprise DMA transmission size, current page residual and initial address;

sending a request for reading DMA to PCIe, and judging whether the residual total size is 0;

if the residual total size is 0, setting the data DMA as a completion state;

and if the residual total size is not 0, returning to the step of judging whether the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota are 0.

It should be noted that this embodiment merely provides a first stage and a second stage of processing as a preferred embodiment, and the first stage and the second stage of processing may be limited according to specific situations, where the first stage of processing, as shown in fig. 2, the candidate queue 2, the descriptor DMA filter, the work queue 2, and the descriptor DMA processor are collectively referred to as a descriptor DMA queue, when a task satisfies a first preset condition, the descriptor DMA filter writes a memory unit number corresponding to the task into the work queue 2, when the work queue 2 is not empty, the descriptor DMA processor reads the memory unit number, obtains status information of the task through the number, and returns the candidate queue 2 if the bandwidth quota and flow control quota of the current task are 0, otherwise, calculates relevant parameters of the DMA, where the relevant parameters of the DMA include a current page offset, and a current page offset, A current page address, a current page remaining, and a starting address. And accessing PCIe through the bus to execute a DMA process, after the DMA process is received by the PCIe, updating state information of the task by the processor, if not, judging whether to execute next operation according to the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota, judging whether the current task is completely finished or is finished in stages, if so, setting a state flag of the descriptor DMA into a finished state, if so, writing the number of the task back to the candidate queue 2, and waiting for next execution.

The second stage of processing is similar to the first stage, the candidate queue 1, the data DMA filter, the work queue 1 and the data DMA processor are collectively called as a data DMA queue, when the task meets a second preset condition, the data DMA filter writes a storage unit number corresponding to the task into the work queue 1, when the work queue 1 is not empty, the data DMA processor reads the storage unit number, obtains state information of the task through the number, and returns to the candidate queue 1 if the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota of the current task are 0 or not by judging whether the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota of the current task are 0, otherwise, relevant parameters of the DMA are calculated, wherein the relevant parameters of the DMA comprise current page offset, current page address, current page residual and initial address. And accessing PCIe through the bus to execute a DMA process, after the DMA process is received by the PCIe, updating state information of the task by the processor, if not, judging whether to execute next operation according to the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota, judging whether the current task is completely finished or is finished in stages, if so, setting a state flag of the data DMA into a finished state, if so, writing the serial number of the task back to a candidate queue 1, and waiting for next execution.

It can be seen that, in the specific process of the first stage and the second stage processing provided in this embodiment, a conclusion whether to continue the next step is obtained by determining whether the bandwidth quota and the flow control quota are 0, if not, calculating the relevant parameters of the DMA, and accessing PCIe through a bus to execute a DMA process, after the DMA process is received, the state information of the task is updated, and it can also be determined whether the task at the current stage is completely ended or periodically ended, if so, returning the task to the candidate queue to wait for the next execution, and if so, setting the state flag of the data DMA or the descriptor DMA to be in a complete state. The efficiency of DMA processing is effectively improved, the task can be divided into a plurality of steps to be carried out, the task can be suspended, and the condition that the channel is wasted when the second stage waits for the information return of the first stage is avoided.

In a specific implementation, when the status flag of the data DMA or the status flag of the descriptor DMA is set to the completion status, it cannot be concluded completely whether the current task is completely completed, and it can only be concluded that the task of a certain stage has been completed, so to avoid this, two additional steps are added on the basis of the above steps, and fig. 3 is a flowchart of another method for processing the DMA provided in this embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, in addition to step S15, the method further includes:

s16: it is determined whether the status flag of the data DMA or the status flag of the descriptor DMA is in the complete state, and if so, the process proceeds to step S17.

S17: and sending a response signal to the calling party.

S18: the status flag of the recovery data DMA is the completion status and the status flag of the descriptor DMA is the number of the task in the completion status.

It should be noted that the step S16 for determining the status flag of the data DMA or the status flag of the descriptor DMA is to determine whether another stage is in a completed state after any stage completes processing, specifically, the task a is divided into two stages, i.e., a stage and b stage, after a is completed, it is determined whether b is also completed, similarly, after b is completed, it is determined whether a is completed, if both are in a completed state, a response signal is sent to the caller, and finally, the status flag of the data DMA and the status flag of the descriptor DMA are both numbers of tasks in a completed state, so as to recycle the numbers.

Therefore, the method can recycle the serial numbers by judging whether the two stages of the tasks are in the completion state, if so, sending a response signal by the calling party, and recycling the serial numbers of the tasks of which the state marks of the data DMA and the descriptor DMA are in the completion state. Therefore, if the two stages are in the finished state, the method sends a response signal to the calling party, improves the interactivity with the calling party, recycles the serial number, improves the cyclic utilization of the serial number and improves the efficiency of the equipment.
